So where did you live that you had to "register" to be a republican? I've lived in Tennessee my entire adult life and I never had to "register" to be a republican or democrat.

At 18 years old, I registered as a Republican. That was 1981. From 1986 until 2008, I served in the USAF

Can you drink liquor for Harrison Bailey's first start tonight? I know I would hate to be without for this one...

Lol! I may have to consider it depending how bad I’m worried we will look. I was lucky last week was cancelled or I would have probably OD’d on booze and painkillers.

Had to look it up. Today is my last day on opioids and I’ve tapered it way off already. Now I just ache all the time but it’s bearable.

Not kidding here, not sure about TX, where I think you live, but most everywhere its legal that I know of, and helps tremendously with coming off the opiates when you do.

If you try it, get the Green Maeng Da variety about a 1/2 teaspoon in tea.

Thanks for the heads up but other than some night sweats which I finally didn’t have last night I think I’m good. My head is clear... or as clear as it can get 😂

I'd rather hurt like hell than be addicted to opioids. I worked with a guy that became addicted to opioids after surgery and it totally ruined his life. It cost him his marriage, his kids, his home and his job. His friends had to change their phone numbers because he was constantly calling and begging for money. It was just an all around bad deal.

Completely agree. I’m afraid of them. Got a family member that can’t kick them and frankly won’t try. No damn way I wind up like that. As long as I can stand the pain I won’t take anything stronger than Tramadol

Are Pelosi and Schumer leaders? Stop being so sanctimonious.

Weird, I don't remember voting for either or suggesting I did. Hell, Pelosi is on my top 3 dislike list. So was your response what is known as strawman?

I'll give your suggestion the consideration it earned.

You sound like a long time Repub that refuses to accept an individual like Trump. I can see that point. I just look at his policies and the alternative and hold my nose and vote for him. I didn’t vote for him in 2016 because I figured he was a blow hard. Turns out he’s a blow hard bit actually implemented quite a few policies I agree with.

I won’t defend the man and you can’t make me 😬 but I thought the admin was fairly effective with the continual obstruction. But that also is a part of politics and they are expected to work thru it. I think Biden will fare worse than Trump also on dealing with an uncooperative Congress.

I hurt my back a few days ago and went to the doctor and he gave me a muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammitory to help with the pain. I took one of each and and haven't took one since. I have 59 of one and 29 of the other left. I'd rather have some pain as to deal with pills, but I must admit I was hurting like hell when I went to the doctor.

two of my close friends had their families ripped apart by prescription addiction. I wish those pill pushing docs did time like the street dealers.

The muscle relaxer was probably cyclobezaprine (sic I’m sure) and is actually fairly safe. They can help you go to sleep if it’s bothering you at bed time.

Nah, he wasn't mean, quite the contrary, tried to give me advice.

I do not mean to be disparaging, I really dont, but if you cannot see where we were and where the progressive movement wants to lead us, I really do not know what to say. If anything we need more Trumps.
